Choose from salads, new potatoes, coleslaw and roast or jacket potatoes, to suit your event.

Not everyone eats pork, so plan an alternative. A few pointers:
- Halal is not offered

A cooked roast can wait; just let us know.

For event organisers in Steyning
Some venues add a fee for outside caterers, so it’s worth asking first. We will liaise with them on access and set-up.
Marquee hire companies often have rules about cooking near their tents, so tell them a hog roast is coming. We will keep the roaster well clear of the marquee.
How it works
We work to your timings. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. On a winter shoot near Steyning, the light goes by about 3:55pm, so a late lunch or wrap at base needs lighting. In summer, light lasts until about 9:20pm.
- Share the location details.
- We agree our position with locations.
- We roast under cover at base.
- We serve rolls or plates quickly.
- We leave base tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Think about shelter for your crew
- Give us a contact number for the day
- Have a level outdoor spot ready
